Hi,
Is it possible to use inline asm to make intrrupt calls in Win32 appl. for
reading some hardware information such as reading port's status register,
etc? Any restrictions or Impossible?
I need to talk to the LPT port directly in Win98/SE, or at least need to get
current status of the port(printer). - Paper out, power off, etc.
Any information will be appreciated.
Joe
PS. 3D in the glasses has been fixed. Thanks for the suggestion.
PPS. If you still don't like the sig, just ignore it, live and let live.
Thanks.

No

Impossible
That was the bad news.
The good news is that you can use the printer port
using the windows api. Look in http://www.lvr.com/parport.htm
for a very comprehensive encyclopedia about the printer port.

Windows 98 runs in a system where there is no protection against
programsz talking directly to the hardware. In any other
versions of windows (2000 upwards) that will not work

You are not allowed directly interact with the hardware in a modern
operating system unless you are writing a device driver. If you want to
figure out printer status under Windows, I'm sure the Windows API has an
appropriate set of function for your application to call -- that's the
purpose of an API.
If you are not actually connecting a printer to the LPT port (who does
that anymore? Don't you use USB?), then you should be more specific in
your request -- and direct them to an OS-specific newsgroup.

Hi Jacob,
Thanks a lot for the advice, that looks like a website with plenty of
information.

By printer port to you mean lpt1?
Now that printers run off a usb usually, how do we update our bag of tricks
accordingly?

By asking in a Windows group where they know about Windows. Or reading
the MSDN documentation.

Especially when we all know that the "useful information" KT is so

Exactly. Remember, they all consider that advice (phrased just a little
bit more politically correct, but we all know exactly what they are
saying; we can picture them foaming at the mouth as they type it) to be
useful, helpful information. They say exactly this (*) every day.
(*) Assert the truth of the (ridicuous) notion that "Get lost, sucker"
is useful. See other thread for further evidence of this silliness.

Thanks, Richard. That's a hard one to remember* if only because it's kind
of a weird way to put all the words together. Where they have ms-windows,
where I would want to put ms-dos.
Good newsgroups are needles in haystacks, including the ms ones, of which
there must be hundreds if not thousands. You don't know whether it is a
good one until you've figured out that it's basically just some guy named
Sanjay who has a one Sanjay fit all attitude. (or not, if you're lucky)
While the printer port is obviously something that doesn't deal directly
with the C programming language, it's at the tail end of a little project
that does: imitating faxes like Jack Klein does in chp 18. The black code
words and white code words seem clever and straightforward.
I wanted to have some extra hobby tasks lying around in case I needed
distraction from an extended attempt to steal the election. The election
was over before I had begun to fight.
Instead, I got ran over by a car yesterday, so I'll be happy to argue with
a compiler for a while.
